CNBC and MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch used racially charged language on Monday night, smearing Republican senatorial candidate Marco Rubio as a "coconut." Deutsch appeared on HLN's Joy Behar Show and used the word, which Urban Dictionary defines as a "person who is tan on the outside" and "white on the inside." Rubio is the son of Cuban exiles.
